Driver, Rev. Samuel Rolles. Book of the prophet Jeremiah: a revised translation, with introd. and short explanations. *$1.50. Scribner.
7–15938.
“The aim of Dr. Driver’s book as he tells us is ‘to assist an ordinary educated reader to read the Book of Jeremiah intelligently and to understand the gist and scope of its different parts.’ To this end a new translation is given which aims to be ‘idiomatic, dignified, accurate, and clear.’ This aim is attained. An introductory sketch of the life of Jeremiah and a characterization of his style is given and brief notes at the foot of the page and in an appendix supply the most needed elucidations of the text.”—Am. J. Theol.
“The book is a good illustration of the author’s well-known caution in the matter of literary and textual criticism.” Kemper Fullerton.
